As Lady Bird's mother, Marion, says during an especially heated living room argument: "Whatever we give you, it's never enough!"

A new indie movie about a teenager's love-hate relationship with her hometown has passed an animated tale about talking toys to become the best-reviewed film ever on Rotten Tomatoes.

The film stars Saoirse Ronan as Christine "Lady Bird" McPherson's during her senior year of high school in Sacramento. Rotten Tomatoes wields a power over audience perception of movies that is unprecedented, and while many a study has been conducted to prove that this doesn't extend to box office impact, that's likely not the case. It's already a hit in limited release, having earned $10 million from just 791 theaters, and that lays a very clear path forward for its Oscar chances.

The film is Greta Gerwig's directorial debut, which makes the Rotten Tomatoes' feat all the more impressive.

Gerwig said: "We put our hearts and souls into this movie, and the last step of this deeply collaborative art form of film-making is giving the film to the audience and the film critics". That there has been such a warm reception is a dream come true.

Dubbed "the new Meryl Streep", Saoirse won for her role in new flick Lady Bird - which is enjoying record breaking reviews.

Thank you to everyone who has seen the film and has written about it so thoughtfully.
